Episode 9 - SCORE Motorsports

[@steeleworks137]

Excellent episode, especially as a NASCAR and wrestling fan. And as an autistic person, it's interesting to hear how it was treated back then versus now, where it's more accepted as a difference in brain chemistry. Always liked Hermie because of his charity work as well, great to hear about all the things he's done for the sport, and outside it.

[@KR_Diecasts]

I’m autistic as well.

[@someperson9048]

The 2006 Daytona 500 is still a convergence point for all of the field fillers: Shelmerdine raced for himself (27) Arnold fielded Larry Foyt (50) Phoenix fielded Mike Wallace (09) Shepard raced for himself (89) Hoover fielded Carl Long (80) Belmont raced for himself (59) Score (Technically Peak Fitness at this time, but whatever) fielded Kevin Lepage (61) Hermie raced for MBA racing (00) Can't wait to see how long this goes

[@TanDawg58]

William Edwards' Mach 1 Racing 98 eventually became Front Row Motorsports, which Randy Lajoie (64) and Chad Chaffin (92) both attempted to qualify for the race, and Chaffin had that gnarly tire blowout and crash in the Duel

[@TimmyTickle]

The final episode of ROTFF should focus on this race

[@TanDawg58]

And, McGlynn Motorsports, who Carl Long partnered with in 04 and 05, fielded the 74 Dodge for Derrike Cope, who drove for Arnold, SCORE, Mach 1, and the 94 team that is coming up in the Stanton Barrett episode in 04.

It feels like the introduction gets louder and more triumphant every episode! I love it haha

Thought I was the only one who noticed that...

[@jaredjackson4033]

I shared this video with Hermie, I see him from time to time. The Sadler’s are a great family, they do a lot for the community. You do a great job with this videos Brock. Love learning the history of these smaller teams and drivers!

You on one of his chassis?

[@jaredjackson4033]

@@va.cracker9318 Yes, great karts!

[@FormerlyknownasCJTVStation8]

Love the reference to tna and also it is cool to hear that Hermie is an advocate for autism. My brother is autistic so it is very near and dear to my heart.

[@garyskippracing]

Field fillers is fast becoming my favourite series, anywhere. Long may it continue!

[@CORF.]

Excited for the Stanton Barrett episode next! Always been a fan of his and he's had a really interesting career

[@22LIGHTNING4]

The Stanton Barrett episode is exciting to look forward to! Especially for a Front Row Motorsports fan as he ran and attempted a lot of races for them in 2005.

[@coltontindle]

I've had the chance to race against Hermie Sadler a number of times on iRacing, and it's not uncommon to find him there. That's always been very cool to me, because I frequently picked his car in the old NASCAR Thunder games because young me liked cars that had numbers starting with a zero, and his #02 fit the bill. Learning more about drivers from this era in the RotFF series has been a joy, and this one was no exception. Thank you for these well-made and informative videos!

[@01Zipang]

I ran with him too in the xfinity cars. Was a pretty neat thing too. Even runs the Green HERMIE car.

[@psychlops924]

That Virginia Lottery commercial was fantastic hahaha. I love old NASCAR commercials.

Hermie is my favorite Sadler brother and I really like Elliott. As always thank you Brock.

[@HBKshowstopper635]

once again more A+ content from you. always a joy. I've been a nascar fan for 25 years and I still learn something new watching your videos digging into the less glamourous and lesser known sides of racing that slipped past the mainstream. you've definitely changed my perspective and how I look at the "backmarkers" of nascar.

[@kevinwalker5798]

Another great piece can't wait for the next one with the 94 and the stunt man.

[@Suburban-United]

I miss Herminator. Always liked him. The amount of detail and history you put into these videos is incredible. Awesome job, Brock.

[@sonnydog830]

Fascinatingly, Hermie announced he will be running for a Virginia State Senate seat in a newly redrawn district. He also co-owns a modified team with Bill Stanley, the VA State Senator from Martinsville's district. His driver is Bobby Labonte.

[@mahiru20ten]

I still wonder why Hermie didn't ask for help from his younger brother for either Wood Brothers/Yates to supply him with decent rides. I mean Elliot's still in contract with Ford teams by the time Hermie started his own... And then I watched the video, and found out that Hermie did ran on Yates car, although just in the 2004 fall Talladega race. And I'm excited for Barett's episode, since I only know him from the Nascar Thunder 2004 game, where he appeared with his #60 car from the Busch Series.

[@JReaLBiz86]

42:20 - Haha, I just had a funny thought. The last time I played nr2003 I played the base game, and I remember going to the driver roster and adding Hermie Sadler and a few of the developer-created drivers to the entry list. I just liked the idea of having the "field fillers" be different from race to race. Anyway, I remembered that because of the different college sponsorships Hermie had in '02. Virginia Tech was one of the cars Hermie had in the game.

[@PaperBanjo64]

Hermie Sadler is also in Dirt to Daytona.

[@RandomAxe]

Another quality video, will keep coming back for more! Thanks a ton for doing this Brock!

[@Glen7000]

16:51 Justin Allgaier currently has the most consecutive starts in the Xfinity Series with 371.

[@nickbarney6560]

Actually it’s Jeremy Clements with 294, Allgaier didn’t run xfinity in 2014/15. Clements would be at 364 if it wasn’t for the 2 race suspension in 2013

[@Dannyedelman4231]

​@nickbarney6560 what was the suspension for i forgot I was following cup more than ixfinity

[@bstargel]

Man this really brought back some memories. I sat across from Hermie's pit stall at Bristol for the Cup race in 2004. I watched his crew pit the car all race long. I probably wouldn't have remembered this had his pit stall not been directly in front of me. Awesome video!

[@NascarNixon]

I've always wondered about that Rock t-shirt

[@efan2012]

Yay a new one! I hope this becomes a recurring series even if it needs a time machine. There's been plenty of interesting field fillers all through time. A series set on the 80's field fillers would be fun. Dick Brooks and crew would be a fun look.

[@PaBa1984]

I was at my grandads most Saturdays, and Emporia was just about a hour away, so he was always our “hometown” driver. In fact, the Sadler Travel Center is where we had to drive to to get lottery tickets back before NC had a lottery. Loved the Virginia Is For Lovers car.

[@22LIGHTNING4]

Surprised you didn’t mention the Front Row starts Hermie had in 2005 for them like making the 2005 Pepsi 400 in the #92 Taco Bell car. Still an amazing episode regardless!

[@bhumiriady]

As always, this episode of ROTFF is one masterpiece of a video! I really love this series so much. Keep up the awesome work and I'm looking forward to the next episode of ROTFF.^^

[@RACECAR]

Another great episode. Seeing Hermie Sadler on TNA is just bonkers, feels so out of nowhere (Which in hindsight sounds about right for that era).

[@PaperBanjo64]

Didn't like them calling it a "disease" Hermie didn't even correct the pit reporter and just cried and said it's hard. I don't think anyone really knew much about it back then, at least Hermie knew better than to get involved with Autism speaks.

I do like the mention of Bruce Driver. He had a great car owned by Don Hawk, Pennzoil and Tonka Toys backing. They had good backing just could never materialize good finishes. Plus with the loss of Dale the 01 to 03 seasons kinda fell apart with Don going in different directions

[@citizenoftheyearCC]

How do you conduct your research for these videos? Its so top notch.

[@LASTCARonBROCK]

Thank you! It's definitely a challenge, and often takes multiple revisions when I find new material. Hermie was a lot like Carl Long in that both kept great records and had lots of press releases.

[@DanTroxell-n5c]

I wouldn't consider Morgan Sheppard a field filler. Under budget uncompetitive but not intentionally. There was many guys who intentionally started and parked for a attempt to have financial gain. If Morgan had the money he would buy the tires and run the race. Unlike others mentioned as a fieldfiller
